Description

Offering generous and highly adaptable accommodation arranged over two floors, this substantial family home combines spacious reception areas with four double bedrooms, an integral garage and a detached outbuilding which can serve a multitude of purposes, without interfering with the principal residence.

The property provides an excellent opportunity to create a home tailored to individual requirements, particularly well-suited to family living with notable features including a glazed drawing room overlooking the rear gardens, a particularly impressive boot/mud room, a kitchen/breakfast/living room and a striking first floor sitting room.

The entrance hall features a bespoke oak staircase and provides access to the reception rooms and a separate ground-floor bedroom wing. A spacious kitchen/breakfast/family room forms a natural hub for the house, with extensive fitted cabinetry, an island incorporating breakfast seating and French doors opening onto the rear terrace. The adjoining boot/mud/utility room is extremely impressive in size, with external access and a connecting door to the integral garage which would suit those with pets or countryside interests.

The drawing and dining rooms are linked by a broad opening, creating a sociable arrangement suited to both everyday living and entertaining. Oak flooring extends through both areas, whilst a log burning stove provides a focal point to the drawing room. Near floor to ceiling glazing and French doors frame views across the garden and connect the accommodation with the terrace creating a wonderful impression of space.
Three ground-floor double bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobe storage, are served by a shower room, with a separate cloakroom completing this level.

Upstairs, a generous galleried landing provides access to the first floor sitting room (which could be adapted to become another large bedroom), where a partly-glazed gable-end offers elevated views of the grounds. A separate playroom/den adds further flexibility and could become a further bedroom suite subject to the relevant permissions. The sleeping accommodation is completed by a principal bedroom suite comprising a double bedroom, an adjoining dressing room/study and an en-suite bathroom with separate shower.

Outside, a private entrance opens onto an extensive driveway providing ample parking and turning space. The gardens are among the most attractive features of the property, with grounds extending to approximately 1.36 acres, incorporating sweeping lawns, established planting and lightly wooded areas that provide privacy and an attractive backdrop. A broad terrace offers space for outdoor dining and entertaining on a large scale, whilst the substantial detached outbuilding, currently used as a workshop, provides valuable additional space which could be adapted to offer ancillary accommodation subject to the relevant permissions.

Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
